What is the Butterfly Project?

The Butterfly Project is a "coping method" specifically for selfharm. Draw a butterfly on your skin and don't harm yourself, or whatever else you are trying not to do, until it is gone naturally - you are not allowed to scrub it off!:)

1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand. 2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better. 3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off. 4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you dont cut, it lives. 5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them. 6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them. 7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.

The butterfly project is when you feel like you have to/want to cut take out a marker and draw a butterfly on your arm. Go even further and name the butterfly after a loved one, friend, or pet. Do not wash it off. If you cut you kill the butterfly. If your friends or family are aware of your self harm allow them to draw butterflies on you so it is extra special.

The butterfly project is a selfharm project where you draw butterflies to represent important people to you to avoid cutting. If you cut, all of the butterflies die and you killed them. But if you leave them alone until they fade away naturally, they survive. The object is to see how important those people really are to you.

the butterfly project is for people who struggle with self harm and when they feel the urge to self harm they draw a butterfly on themselves where they would like to self harm and try keep the butterflies alive by not self harming

The butterfly Project, has been known as an organization that deals with people who have self harmed, know someone that deals with self harm. It is shared that everytime you want to cut draw a butterfly on your arm. If you know someone that self harms you draw a butterfly on them, those butterflies are extra special. If you do self harm all the butterflies are dead. At the end of the day you have to look at how many butterflies are on your arm, or leg or anywhere on your body and see how many people care about you, and how many times you have defeated the urge and overcome self harm.

the butterfly project is where when you draw a butterfly on the place where you self harm and you try to let it fade away this meant to show it has lived and flown away it can lead to a sense of achievement by not self harming. however if the person does self harm it's ok they can simple start again and see if they can build it up like last another day.

The butterfly project is a self harming coping method or alternative, When you feel the urgue to cut you draw a butterfly on your body, this butterfly represent someone you love or you care about, when you draw it you have not to cut and if you did it means that the butterfly is dead, you have not to wash it and let it fade away naturally.

The Butterfly Project is a project that helped me end self-harm. You draw a butterfly somewhere you would harm yourself and you can name it after someone you care for or just leave it. You want the butterfly to fade away naturally, like it's able to fly away. If you harm yourself, it's like you harm the butterfly.

The butterfly Project is an anti self-harm method some people use. You draw a butterfly with the name of a person that wants you to stop self harming. If you stay clean until the drawing fades, the butterfly gets set free. If you self harm or wash it off then the butterfly dies.
